GE commercials (1)

I think it's funny how GE advertises their aircraft engines, diesel locomotives, and medical imaging systems on their very own TV network, NBC, as if the people who watched their sitcoms on weeknights had any kind of ability to buy such things. I guess they're trying to advertise their brand, not just their products, but it still comes across as odd. #entertainment

Too much chivalry (1)
|
Mar 18, 2009

Some people complain that there's just not enough chivalry these days. Where are the men who open doors for women? Who carry heavy objects for women? Who hail a cab, give up their seat, or pay for dinner?
My complaint is that there's actually too much chivalry, and it's annoying. I'm saying this from my male perspective, as the recipient of several acts of chivalry by other men. I don't mind that a fellow man holds the door for me or helps me carry a heavy object. But men shouldn't be giving up their seats for other men. They shouldn't be insisting on paying for meals. A line has been crossed, and depending on the circumstances it's either creepy or emasculating. I appreciate the sentiment of respect and genuine care, but insisting on paying for my meal makes me feel like a little girl. #psychology
